Retrieving Instagram Caption
Open
I want to only get the caption from an instagram post for a given URL. I don't need any of the other data like comments, hashtags, etc. Is there a way to specify what you want to be returned or to make it faster (7 seconds per post is unbelievably slow for just a caption)? For my use case I need to have captions be extracted as fast as possible, preferably under 3 seconds. If you could me in the right direction that would be helpful also. Thanks!

Hi 😊,
I'm afraid it is not how much data you need, but the startup time which is limiting the speed of the actor. If you are able to batch requests, you will see much higher throughput. If that is not a possibility for your workload, I can create an issue tracking the demand for creating a standby actor around instagram?

So is it not possible to use the existing actors made by apify for Instagram and use the SDK kinda make a makeshift standby actor by nesting calls to the existing actors inside the sdk of a standby actor? Yes, if you could open a ticket for a standby actor around instagram that would be great!
Hi!
Please try https://apify.com/apify/export-instagram-comments-posts or use direct actor-to-actor integration.

Could you explain in more detail how I should use an actor-to-actor integration to make the "apify/instagram-comment-scraper" operate in a standy mode?
I appreciate you suggesting the "apify/export-instagram-comments-posts" actor, however, I don't think it works for my use case. I don't want to get multiple post from a instagram user, I just want to be able to extract the caption of a post given the URL for that post. In other words, (Input: Post URL) -> (Output: Caption text).
Sorry for the long thread, I'm kinda new to the whole Apify ecosystem. Thanks!
Hi!
Please check https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/actors - it is designed for actor chaining, so running one actor based on the output from another might be automated. Stand by mode is a different feature; we do not have it right now for any of the Instagram actors.
